Shades of green: Art and crafts have an eco-friendly theme at Boogaloo

At this weekend’s Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo, organizers encourage attendees to ride bikes or carpool to the festival. They host bayou and bank cleanups, and their “Cash for Trash” program encourages fest goers to collect recycling and trash. Recycling receptacles are everywhere on the festival grounds.

“We are stewards for Bayou St. John and the Mid-City neighborhood and take our commitment to sustainability and green practices very seriously,” said Boogaloo founder Jared Zeller.
